Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Island Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
