The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Te Awanga building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
