Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Te Awanga building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
