What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from an certified Alicetown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. It makes sure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
