The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Tamatea building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
