Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Titahi Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
