What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Oriental Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
