Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Tutira building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
