Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Taita building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

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

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
