Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Aotea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
