The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Island Bay building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
