Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Te Aro building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
