Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Te Hauke building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
