The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Oriental Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house 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 that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to 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 mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
