What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Aotea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
