Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Aotea building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
