Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Tawa building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
