Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Aotea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
