If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Taradale building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
