What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Te Hauke building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
