The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Te Marua building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
