Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Tamatea building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
