The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are so Crucial

It’s great, you’ve found one that looks like it meets all the criteria. The real estate agent reckons it’s solidly built and your DIY expert acquaintance says it’s nice. Should you really get it checked out?

If you’re buying a home without conducting a prior inspection prior to purchase and you end up owning some pretty expensive issues that may not be identified, but you could severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the home resulted in significant issues.

A pre-purchase inspection report issued by an certified Houghton Bay building inspector will show up any defects that the property may have, highlight any future problems , and indicate points that will add value. It assures home buyers do not face unpleasant unexpected costs and offers you the chance to negotiate a lower price.

We examine the entire structure and identify any significant defects as well as any future or urgent maintenance issues , and any problems due to gradual decline. We are looking for structural issues or any indication that the building is in require of repair or has issues due to delayed maintenance such as weatherboards turning rotten because of peeling paint, and areas where there is damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

The following issues could be expensive to sort out:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the house was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They have been known to leak. Insurance companies are unlikely to cover damages caused by this pipe in the event that you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard has been known to leak. If your household was constructed in the 1980s, it might have Weatherside.

Monolithic Plaster cladding: Used in the late 1980s through the mid 2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls typically are smooth or unbroken surface.

Asbestos building materials: The use of asbestos was widespread from mid-1940s to mid-1980s. It can be found placed on roofs, ceilings, underneath lino, or fences. If asbestos is discovered in a property, get specialist advice on what risk it presents, how it could be removed, the length of time it will take to removeit, and the removal cost.
