What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Oriental Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
