What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Tawa building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
