What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Crucial

Congratulations, you’ve discovered an apartment that appears like it has all the right boxes ticked. A real estate agent believes it is solidly constructed and your DIY professional friend thinks it’s great. Are you required to get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive problems that could have been identified, you could severely limit the ability to claim damages if the home was to be stricken with an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase inspection report prepared by an certified Brooklyn building inspector will identify any problems that the property may have, highlight any potential issues and highlight areas that can be improved. This makes sure that house buyers do not face any nasty shocks and also gives you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We inspect the entire building 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 any indication that the property is not in good repair or issues that result from deferred maintenance like weatherboards becoming rotten due to peeling paint or areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Each of these could be costly to deal with:

Black plastic piping: Look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed in the late 1970s or early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe, if you knew they were there.

Weathersideexterior cladding: Weatherside weatherboard can leak. If your household was constructed in the 80s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used from the 1980s until the mid-2000s many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken finish.

Asbestos construction: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It is often found placed on roofs, ceilings, under lino, fencing. If asbestos is found in the location, seek professional advice about the risks it poses, the very best way it can be removed, the time it would take to removeit, and the price of removal.
