What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Aotea building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
