What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Aotea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

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

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
