Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection but you could be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Alicetown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprises and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
