Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Omahu building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

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

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: 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 won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
