The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Takapuwahia building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
