Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Aotea building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
