Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Tutira building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
