The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

Excellent, you’ve found a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Should you really check it out?

If you are buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Island Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This will ensure that home buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We check the entire property and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: This weatherboard is known to leak. If the home was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.
