The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Oriental Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
