The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report by a qualified Alicetown building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed 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 might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
