Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Ahuriri building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
