What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Oriental Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
