The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified 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 ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
