The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Alicetown building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
