The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Aotea building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
