Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Tamatea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home 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 pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
