Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Titahi Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
