Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Oriental Bay building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
