A pre purchase inspection report issued by a certified Brooklyn building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant surprise and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If your house was built in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
