The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and 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 home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Island Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
