Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are 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 solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Te Mata building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
