Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Oriental Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by 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: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
