Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Brooklyn building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This assures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
