The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Oriental Bay building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
