Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered the perfect property, and it appears that it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Should you really have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a qualified Island Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

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

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household 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.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
