The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Makara Beach building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should 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 won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
