Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Oriental Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
