The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Vital

You’ve found the perfect property, and it appears that it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase it is imaginable to end up with some expensive problems that could have been discovered, but you may be severely limiting your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase building inspection report issued by an certified Brooklyn building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. This makes sure that home buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and offers you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the building is not in good repair and issues caused by delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting due to peeling paint and areas with damp or mould.

Warnings & Red Flags

Any of the following might be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Check for them if the 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 caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If the house was built in the early 80s , it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually feature a smooth or undulating appearance.

Asbestos products: Widely used since the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fences. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert advice about the risks it poses, how it might be removed, how long it will require to remove, as well as the price of removal.
