Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Hataitai building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
