Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
