What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Te Mata Hills building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
