Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really need to get it checked?

If you purchase a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Onekawa building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
