Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Tamatea building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues and any indications 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 moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
