Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Titahi Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
