Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Oriental Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s to 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 presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
