The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Titahi Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
