What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Aotea building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
