Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Onekawa building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
