The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Titahi Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
