What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
