Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks fine. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages in the event that the house resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Alicetown building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures house buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it will be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
