The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Oriental Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
