Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an certified Tutira building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
