Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Titahi Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
