Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
