Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Te Aro building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
