What Are The Reasons 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’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend thinks it’s good. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report from an qualified Houghton Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it might be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
