Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Tutira building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
