The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Awatoto building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
