The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Hataitai building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
