Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Karori building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
