Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Te Awanga building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
