The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Te Aro building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Te Aro

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
