Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Alicetown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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 to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
