Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Onekawa building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
