Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Island Bay building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
