Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Te Aro building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the 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: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
