The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Island Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
