What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Awatoto building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
