What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Taita building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
