The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s good. Should you really check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with expensive issues that may not be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Island Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty shocks and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues, any signs that the building has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
