The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an qualified Island Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
