The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Te Awa building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
