Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Taita building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
