Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Te Aro building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
