Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Te Hauke building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
