Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an certified Onekawa building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
