What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to be left with expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Alicetown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
