The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Aotea building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed 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 could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from 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 a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
