What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Te Marua building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
