Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Te Marua building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
