What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Awatoto building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Comprehensive Building Inspections Awatoto

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
