The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Awatoto building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
