What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has 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 potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs 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.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
