What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s good. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Alicetown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
