Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from an qualified Island Bay building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects and any 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 in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe if you knew they were there.

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

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
