Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Aotea building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
