What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
