Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Oriental Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
