Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Oriental Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
