The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Te Awa building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
