What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, 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 good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
