The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

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