What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. A real estate agent believes it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY professional friend believes it’s great. Should you really get it checked?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase but you could end up owning some pretty costly problems that could be discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages if the house was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by a certified Island Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any future problems and highlight areas that can be improved. It assures home buyers don’t face any nasty surprise and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems caused by gradual deterioration. We search for structural issues or any indication that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the household was constructed in the 1980s, it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the length of time it will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
