Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Taita building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
