What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Island Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found on ceilings, roofs, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
