What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Alicetown building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the cost for removal.
