Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Onekawa building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
