What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Taita building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

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

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
