The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
