The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Tawa building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
