The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

You’ve found an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The real estate agent says it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend thinks it’s fine. Should you really check it out?

If you’re purchasing a home without conducting a pre purchase inspection, not only could you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report from a certified Island Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, as well as any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. This ensures home buyers do not encounter any nasty unexpected costs and gives you the chance to negotiate lower cost.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

The following issues could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe even if you were aware that they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If the home was constructed in the early 80s it may have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: In the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos products: It was widely used from the the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found installed on roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If you find asbestos in the property, seek expert advice about the risks it presents, how it can be removed, the time it would be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
