Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, 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 believes it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Te Hauke building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
