What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Brooklyn building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant shocks and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues, any signs that the building is in need of repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: 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, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If you find asbestos in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, the time it would take to remove, and the price of removal.
