Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Oriental Bay building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
