Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Te Aro building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
