What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Oriental Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the 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.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
