If you’re purchasing a house without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a certified Brooklyn building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It ensures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprises and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos building materials: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
