The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Te Marua building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to 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 built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 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 have an unbroken or smooth 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 discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
