The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Oriental Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
