Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Te Marua building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
