What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the 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 pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
