Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Te Aro building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
