What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Awatoto building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior 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, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
