Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Titahi Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
