What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears 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 great. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might be identified, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Alicetown building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and provides you with an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the household was built in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
