The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
