Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Titahi Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects 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 property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
