Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Taradale building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
