Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Te Awanga building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
