What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
