Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Tamatea building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

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

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