The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Titahi Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or 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 piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
