Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Onekawa building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home 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 piping, when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
