Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Karori building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
