What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend believes it’s nice. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report from a qualified Alicetown building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This assures home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it can be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
