The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Te Aro building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.
