Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Titahi Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
