The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Te Awa building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
