What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by a certified Island Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, how it might be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
