The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Aotea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building 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 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 your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
