The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend says it looks good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an qualified Alicetown building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
