The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Te Hauke building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
