What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Te Aro building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is in require of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
