What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Taita building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
