What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Te Awa building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
