Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Te Mata Hills building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
