Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Aotea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
