Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Te Aro building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household 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: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
