The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Aotea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
