Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Te Mata building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
