What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Te Aro building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from 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 household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
