Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Alicetown building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues and any indications that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
