What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Tawa building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
