The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Taita building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, 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 with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
