The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Omahu building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
