Why Are 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’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Oriental Bay building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
