Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Aotea building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
