Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Titahi Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
