Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Alicetown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
