Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Te Mata building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
