What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming 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 the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
