Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

If you are buying a home without performing a pre inspection prior to purchase but you could be left with costly issues that might be identified, but you may be severely limiting the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report by a certified Island Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, as well as any future problems and highlight points that will add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not encounter any nasty surprises and provides you with the chance to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects and any urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the property is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was built in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It can be found installed on roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If you find asbestos in the location, seek professional guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it could be removed, the length of time it will take to remove, and the price of removal.
