The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Te Aro building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
