Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Tamatea building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
