Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an qualified Onekawa building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is in need of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
