Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Te Awa building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
