The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home has significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by an qualified Island Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
