The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Aotea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found 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 require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
