Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with costly issues that might have been discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home ended up with significant problems.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Island Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate the areas where you can add value. It will ensure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Any of the following might be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It could be found placed on roofs, ceilings, in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it presents, how it could be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
