The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Oriental Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
