The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by 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 that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
