Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Te Aro building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
