Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Aotea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
