What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Alicetown building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
