The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Te Marua building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
