What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Onekawa building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
