Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Titahi Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
