The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Taradale building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
