Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Te Aro building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by 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 costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
