Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. The agent who is selling it says it is well-built and your DIY expert friend says it looks good. Do you really have to have it examined?

If you’re purchasing a house without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you end up owning some pretty costly issues that might be identified, but you may severely limit your ability to seek damages if the house resulted in a significant issue.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Brooklyn building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future problems , and indicate areas that can be improved. It will ensure that home buyers do not face unpleasant shocks and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

The property is inspected and identify any significant defects, future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We check for structural issues or any indication that the house has a leaky structure or has issues due to delayed maintenance, such as weatherboards that are rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was built or re-plumbed between the late 1970s and the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage that is caused by this type of pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside siding: The weatherboard has been known to leak. If the home was constructed in the early 80s , it might have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the 1980s and into the mid-2000s Many "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken appearance.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from around the mid-1940s up to the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is discovered in the location, seek professional advice on what risk it poses, how it can be removed, how long it will take to remove, and the removal cost.
