Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Te Aro building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
