What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Te Mata building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property 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, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household 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 pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
