The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Tamatea building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in 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 the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
