Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Oriental Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look 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 caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
