What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Alicetown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
