Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Aotea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
