The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
