The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an 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 are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
