The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Alicetown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
