What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Oriental Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems, any signs that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
