What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Aotea building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
