Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Taita building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
