Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Taita building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
