The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Aotea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been 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 cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
