What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Alicetown building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers 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 issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
