If you’re purchasing a home without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase and you be left with expensive problems that could be identified, but it could also severely limit your ability to seek damages in the event that the house ended up with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report by an certified Brooklyn building inspector will reveal any issues that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight the areas where you can add value. This will make sure that home buyers do not 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 that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We look for structural problems or any indication that the property is not in good repair, issues caused by deferred maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

What To Be On the Look Out For

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if your house was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages that is caused by this type of pipe, in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard can leak. If your house was constructed in the early 80s it could be equipped with Weatherside.

The Plaster monolithic style: It was popular from the 1980s until the mid-2000s, many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically have a smooth, unbroken surface.

Asbestos construction: It was widely used from the mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It can be found in roofs, ceilings underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the cost of removal.
