The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a qualified Island Bay building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
