Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Oriental Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
