The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Titahi Bay building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
