The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Excellent, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s great. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your options for claiming damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Island Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, as well as any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s , it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found at the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed the time it would require to remove, as well as the cost for removal.
