What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Titahi Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed 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, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
