Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

If you purchase a home without performing a pre purchase inspection and you be left with costly problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Houghton Bay building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. It assures house buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by gradual deterioration. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it can be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
