The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Aotea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
