Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Omahu building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
