Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Taita building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
