The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Oriental Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
