Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Te Aro building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed 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 pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
