The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Oriental Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
