Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Oriental Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
