The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks 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. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Aotea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
