What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Titahi Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
