The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Awatoto building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to 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: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
