What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
