What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Hataitai building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance 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 any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
