Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Aotea building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
