Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

Excellent, you’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it’s got everything you want. The real estate agent says it is solidly built and your DIY professional friend believes it’s fine. Are you required to get it checked?

If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up with some costly issues that might be discovered, but you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with significant problems.

A pre-purchase building inspection report issued by a qualified Island Bay building inspector will highlight any flaws the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you are able to add value. This makes sure that house buyers don’t face unpleasant unexpected costs and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and look for any serious flaws that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the household was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies won’t cover any damages caused by this piping, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If the home was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: In the 1980s to the mid-2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it might be removed, how long it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.

House inspections or property inspections offer an honest review, rather than what the estate agent thinks is the answer.
