The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Omahu building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
