The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend says it looks great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Brooklyn building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It will make sure that house buyers don’t have any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues, any signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
