What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Te Hauke building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
