Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Tawa building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
