The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Oriental Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
