Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Te Awa building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
