The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Aotea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
