Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Alicetown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
