What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Oriental Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
