Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Te Aro building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

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

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
