What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Waiwhetu building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Waiwhetu

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
