Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Te Aro building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
