Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Takapuwahia building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until 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.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
