The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks fine. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Oriental Bay building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This assures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
