The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Oriental Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
