Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Aotea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
