What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Te Awa building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
