The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Hataitai 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 makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
