Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Tamatea building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
