Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Taita building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
