Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Te Marua building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
