Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Aotea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
