The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Te Marua building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
