Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without performing a pre purchase inspection, not only could you be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Brooklyn building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It makes sure that house buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the house was built in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the very best way it could be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
