Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Oriental Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
