Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
