Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Tawa building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
