The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a qualified Island Bay building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
