Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
