Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Hataitai building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
