What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Te Awa building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist 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.
