Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Te Mata building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
