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 sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Tawa building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
