The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Te Mata Hills building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
