Why 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 is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a certified Onekawa building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
