What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Aotea building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
