Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a certified Oriental Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
