Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Aotea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are 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.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
