What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Awatoto building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
