The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
