Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
