Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Te Awa building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
