Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Te Aro building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
