Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s well-built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit your ability to seek damages if the home resulted in significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report by an certified Houghton Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your home was built or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it might be removed, the length of time it will require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.

Property inspections also known as household inspections are mandatory nowadays when buying the home. With the escalating price of houses and the rising costs of building maintenance, it's crucial to know the exact value of what you purchase.
