What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s possible to end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house has a significant issue.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by a qualified Island Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. It ensures house buyers don’t have unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by gradual deterioration. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic pipe: Look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: Used widely from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
