What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Alicetown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
