The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Te Aro building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
