Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. 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 expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Aotea building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
