What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Island Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
