The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report from a certified Island Bay building inspector will show up any defects the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws and any urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the house has a leaky structure or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your household was constructed or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the 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.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was built in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, how it could be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
