Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Island Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
