The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Takapuwahia building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
