Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Alicetown building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
