The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Te Hauke building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
