Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Te Awa building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
