The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
