The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks great. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Brooklyn building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
