Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Aotea building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
