What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Taradale building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
