Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Oriental Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

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

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
