What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Te Aro building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
