Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Te Aro building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found 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, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
