The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

You’ve found one that looks like it ticks all the boxes. A real estate agent believes it is well-built and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to have it examined?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection but you could end up with some expensive issues that may not be discovered, but you may be severely limiting your options for claiming damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre purchase building inspection report from a qualified Brooklyn building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any future issues, and identify areas to add value. This ensures house buyers don’t have any nasty surprise and also gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower price.

We inspect the entire building and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance problems and issues due to gradual decline. We search for structural issues and any indications that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: You should look for them if the home was constructed or rebuilt around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage that is caused by this type of pipe, even if you were aware that they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: The weatherboard is known for its leaks. If your home was built in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually are smooth or unbroken appearance.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found in roofs, ceilings under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in an address, you should seek out expert guidance on the risk it presents, how it might be removed, how long it would be to get rid of, and the price of removal.
