Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Alicetown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
