Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Awatoto building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers 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 or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
