Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Takapuwahia building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are 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: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
