The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Taradale building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
