The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Island Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences.
