Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Awatoto building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
