What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Aotea building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or 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 and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
