Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Te Aro building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
