Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Te Mata building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or 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 home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
