The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Tawa building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
