Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Aotea building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
