Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s well-built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Onekawa building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
