What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly built and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s fine. Do you really have to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you could severely limit your options for claiming damages if the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report by an certified Island Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas to add value. This ensures house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We examine the entire structure and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

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

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the removal cost.
