The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Hataitai building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
