The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Aotea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
