The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Aotea building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed 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 could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
