Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Te Mata building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
