Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Oriental Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
