Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by a certified Oriental Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
