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 expert acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Island Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
