What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Tawa building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
