What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home ended up with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Island Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
