Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Te Awanga building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
