What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Aotea building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
