The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Papakowhai building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
