Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Hataitai building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
