What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be 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 issued by an qualified Hataitai building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. 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 home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
