Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Hataitai building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
