Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Te Awa building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
