Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Te Aro building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
