Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Oriental Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
