Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a qualified Island Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
