Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Karori building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
