Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Te Mata building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Te Mata

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
