Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has significant problems.

A pre-purchase inspection report from an qualified Island Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building and determine any major defects, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the house is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the house was constructed in the 80s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
