The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

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 acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Oriental Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
