Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Tamatea building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
