Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Onekawa building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
