The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Te Aro building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
