Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Te Marua building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
