What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Aotea building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
