The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Oriental Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
