The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Te Marua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
