What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Karori building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
