Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Te Awa building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing.
