What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Island Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
