Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
