Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Takapuwahia building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
