Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to check it out?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an certified Onekawa building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
