The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Tamatea building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
