What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Taita building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
