Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend thinks it’s good. Should you really have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house has significant issues.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Alicetown building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not face any nasty surprises and 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 issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the house is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was constructed in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
