Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Te Mata building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
