Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
