What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Te Mata building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
