Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

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

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Onekawa building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
