Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Taradale building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
