The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Te Aro building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
