The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Titahi Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
