What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
