The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
