Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Oriental Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity 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 problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
