Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Aotea building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
