Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY specialist friend believes it’s fine. Should you really get it checked out?

If you purchase a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection but you could find yourself with some expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Island Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. This ensures house buyers do not encounter unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues and problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would require to remove, as well as the removal cost.
