What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying 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 ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Te Awa building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
