What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Oriental Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
