The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Island Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
