Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Aotea building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
