Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Alicetown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
