Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Important

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Are you required to check it out?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it is possible to be left with expensive issues that may not have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages if the house has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Island Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. This makes sure that home buyers do not face unpleasant surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: In the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at the property, seek expert advice on what risk it presents, how it can be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the cost for removal.

Inspections of properties or houses provide an unbiased review rather than what the estate agent thinks might be the right answer.
