Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

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

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Awatoto building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
