What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Te Aro building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
