What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Te Mata Hills building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
