Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Te Aro building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
