What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Titahi Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
