What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Te Aro building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
