Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Taita building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
