Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Oriental Bay building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
