Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Titahi Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

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