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 built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Oriental Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house 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.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
