What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered one that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you purchase a house without performing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Alicetown building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This assures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprises and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance problems and issues that are caused by the gradual degradation. We are looking for structural issues and any indications that the building has a leaky structure, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the household was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
