The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Te Marua building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
