What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

You’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. The agent who is selling it says it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY specialist friend says it looks nice. Do you really need to have it examined?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to be left with expensive problems that could be discovered, but it could also severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre purchase building inspection report prepared by an certified Island Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have unpleasant shocks and gives you the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and determine any major defects and any urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems, any signs that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your house was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: This weatherboard can leak. If the home was built in the 80s, it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be installed on roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in an address, you should seek out expert advice on what risk it poses, the very best way it might be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the cost for removal.
