The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Te Awa building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
