What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really need to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Awatoto building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
