The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
