The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Te Aro building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can 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 homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
