Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Island Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
