Why Are Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it is sturdy and solid, while your DIY expert friend says it looks nice. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you purchase a house without doing a pre purchase inspection and you end up with some costly problems that could have been discovered, but you may severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home resulted in an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an qualified Island Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems and highlight the areas where you can add value. It makes sure that home buyers don’t face any nasty unexpected costs and provides you with the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues and problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues and any indications that the building is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint or areas where there is damp or mould.

Any of the following could cost a lot to resolve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If the household was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Walls on the exterior typically have an unbroken or smooth surface.

Asbestos building materials: Widely used since the around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It may be placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it would take to removeit, and the cost for removal.
