Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Te Aro building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

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

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
