The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an certified Brooklyn building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or signs that the building has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

The following issues could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

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

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have an unbroken or smooth appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
