The Reasons Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Vital

Congratulations, you’ve discovered a property that looks like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly constructed and your DIY specialist friend thinks it’s great. Do you really have to get it checked?

If you are buying a house without doing a pre inspection prior to purchase, not only could you be left with expensive issues that may not have been identified, you may be severely limiting the possibility of pursuing damages in the event that the home has an issue of significant importance.

A pre-purchase building inspection report prepared by an qualified Brooklyn building inspector will reveal any issues the property is suffering from, and will also highlight any potential issues and highlight points that will add value. It will ensure that house buyers don’t have any nasty shocks and provides you with the opportunity to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and find any major flaws as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We check for structural issues, any signs that the property is a leaky building and issues caused by delayed maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint, and areas that are damp or mould.

Take Care to Look Out For

Any of the following could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: Check for them if your home was constructed or rebuilt from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known to leak. Insurance companies will not cover any damage caused by this pipe, when you know they are there.

Weatherside cladding: This weatherboard can leak. If your house was built in the early 80s , it could have Weatherside.

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: It was popular from the late 1980s through the mid 2000s, many "leaky houses" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating surface.

Asbestos products: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings in lino under fences. If asbestos is discovered in the property, seek expert guidance on the risk it poses, the best way it can be removed, how long it would require to remove, as well as the cost of removal.
