Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Te Awanga building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
