What Are The Reasons Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty costly problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Island Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. This ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws and any urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or signs that the building is in need of repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the 1980s, it could have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
