Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Oriental Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
