What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Te Aro building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
