What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Oriental Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
