If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Taradale building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

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

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
