The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Aro Valley building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
