Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Te Aro building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
