The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Oriental Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will make sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
