The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Taita building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
