Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Te Awanga building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
