The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Te Awa building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
