Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Tawa building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
