Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really need to get it checked out?

If you’re buying a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection and you be left with costly issues that might be discovered, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by a qualified Island Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This ensures house buyers don’t face unpleasant surprises and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

The property is inspected and look for any serious flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We look for structural problems and any indications that the house is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the 80s, it could have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If you find asbestos in a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it presents, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the cost of removal.
