Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes 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 house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Omahu building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
