The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Takapuwahia building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
