Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it is solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could end up with some costly issues that might have been discovered, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house has a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report issued by an certified Island Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future issues, and identify areas that can be improved. It ensures home buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you the chance to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your household was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, how it can be removed the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
