Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Titahi Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
