Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Takapuwahia building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
