Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Titahi Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to 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.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
