The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Tamatea building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
