What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Te Mata building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
