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 well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Aotea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

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

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
