Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report by a qualified Island Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

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

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
