What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Titahi Bay building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
