Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Karori building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
