Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Te Aro building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
