The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Tawa building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
