What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Te Awanga building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
