What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Oriental Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems 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.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
