Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection it is imaginable to be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a qualified Island Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It will make sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
