If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Brooklyn building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the house is in require of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
