The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Te Hauke building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
