What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Oriental Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
