What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Houghton Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
