Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Tamatea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
