The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Alicetown building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
