A roof tile inspection is crucial before buying a house with roof tiles. It's crucial that you can trust the roof's quality. In reality, many things can go wrong with a roof or its tiles. Not all defects are visible to the naked eye. It turns out that buyers often don't pay enough attention to a roof tile inspection, which can lead to unexpected, high costs later on.
Are you considering buying a home? Then it's always advisable to have a building inspection carried out by an experienced company. A building inspection checks everything in and around the house for quality and reliability. Naturally, a roof tile inspection will also be performed. This prevents you from encountering hidden defects, which you can't always recover from the seller.
If the roof tiles are defective or there's a problem with the roof, this can have unpleasant consequences. These can include leaks, which are common with tiled roofs. There may also be problems with ridge tiles or pipe penetrations. Often, such issues are invisible, meaning the buyer won't be aware of them unless a building inspection is performed.
It's common knowledge that some homes are much better maintained than others. Some homeowners have their roofs and facades professionally cleaned regularly, but there are also those who pay much less attention to this. A very dirty roof can mask defects. Moreover, dirt itself can cause significant problems.
