Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Takapuwahia building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
