The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Brooklyn building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
