What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Te Marua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
