What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Alicetown building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
