The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Omahu building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
