Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Tawa building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
