Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Titahi Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
