The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Aotea building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household 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 pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
