Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Aotea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
