The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house 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, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
