What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Te Mata building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. 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 home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
