Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Te Aro building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
