What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
