The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Te Aro building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

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

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
