What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

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

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Titahi Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
