Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Titahi Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from 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

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
