Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Te Aro building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences.
