The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Alicetown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
