What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Alicetown building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the house is in require of repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
