The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, 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 friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Te Mata building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing.
