What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Awatoto building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
