Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the house resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Island Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This will make sure that house buyers do not face any nasty surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed 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

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
