The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Karori building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
