The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Taita building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
