What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Taradale building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

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

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
