The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it’s sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Do you really have to check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is possible to be left with costly issues that might have been identified, it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home ended up with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by an qualified Island Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers do not face any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We search for structural issues and any indications that the property is a leaky building or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Each of these could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If your house was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would take to remove, and the removal cost.
