Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Te Marua building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the 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: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
