Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Te Mata building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
