The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Titahi Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
