Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Aotea building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
