Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Brooklyn building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. 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 will take to removeit, and the price of removal.
