Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Omahu building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the 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: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
