Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

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 areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
