What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
