Why Are 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 sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a certified Alicetown building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
