Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Island Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprises and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
