Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the home ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from an qualified Alicetown building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
