Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Te Awa building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Te Awa

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
