Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Aotea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
