The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Should you really check it out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase it’s possible to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Houghton Bay building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will ensure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and determine any major defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or signs that the property has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

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

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it poses, the best way it could be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.
