The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Onekawa building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
