What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Tamatea building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
