Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Te Mata building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at 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.
