What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Takapuwahia building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
