The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s nice. Are you required to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you end up with some costly issues that might have been identified, you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home has significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Island Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. It ensures home buyers don’t face any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

The property is inspected and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or signs that the house is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint, and areas with damp or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was constructed in the 1980s, it may have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: Widely used since the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the very best way it can be removed the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
