Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Aotea building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
