Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Te Marua building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
