Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Alicetown building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
