What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Aotea building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
