What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a 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 makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
