What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Tawa building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
