What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Oriental Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
