Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Tawa building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: 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 will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
