Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

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 areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
