What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Island Bay building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

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 from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
