The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Te Marua building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
