Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Oriental Bay building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
