Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Aotea building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
