The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Tawa building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
