A Comprehensive Building & Home Inspection in Aotea

Peace of Mind

We will carry out an in-depth investigation of your property and offer you with a fair and honest comprehensive written building report that includes photos of any issues for you to be sure that the house you are purchasing has the quality you expect.

A thorough inspection by the Aotea building inspector usually is between one half and two hours at the site. However, we allow a maximum of two hours to conduct our standard pre-purchase inspections within Aotea. This is followed by a few additional hours for the preparation of the report.

Our reports are thorough, yet easy to understand to inform you as accurately as imaginable regarding your prospective new home. You are in a better position to negotiate by being completely informed to make informed real estate decisions.

Do not pay too much for a house that’s likely create headaches due to future issues. We can pinpoint the areas where most problems happen, and will provide expert guidance on how to proceed.

Based on what an home investigation finds, you may be able to utilise a report to assist you in negotiating with the seller on price or even repairs. Even if the report finds minor issues, you can still use it as a road map for future maintenance.

Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

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 sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
