What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Titahi Bay building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
