Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you’re buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Island Bay building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
