Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Aotea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
