Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Aotea building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
