The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Takapuwahia building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to 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 piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
