Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY professional friend says it looks nice. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a pre purchase inspection it’s imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could have been identified, you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre purchase inspection report by an qualified Island Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify the areas where you can add value. This assures house buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance problems and issues caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard can leak. If your home was built in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It can be found 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, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
