If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Brooklyn building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

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

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
