What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Te Aro building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Te Aro

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
