The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection it is imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Onekawa building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Thorough Building Inspections Onekawa

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
