Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Titahi Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
