The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
