What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Alicetown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
