Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Oriental Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
