Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

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 believes it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Pauatahanui building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
