The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Te Aro building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
