The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Te Awa building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
