The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Island Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. It will ensure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the cost of removal.
