Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Titahi Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or 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: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
