Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Aotea building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
