Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Te Awanga building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built 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 piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
