Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

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

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
