The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Te Awa building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. 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 require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
