The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Te Marua building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
