Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Aotea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
