Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Alicetown building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was constructed in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
