What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Awatoto building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
