What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Te Awanga building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
