Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Te Mata building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
