Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Te Aro building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
