What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Taita building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
