What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Aotea building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
