The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Alicetown building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
