Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Te Hauke building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
