Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Alicetown building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
