The Reason Why Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found a property that looks like it’s got everything you want. A real estate agent believes it’s solidly built and your DIY expert friend believes it’s nice. Do you really have to check it out?

If you purchase a house without conducting a prior purchase inspection it’s possible to find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you may severely limit the possibility of pursuing damages if the house ended up with significant issues.

A pre-purchase building inspection report from a certified Island Bay building inspector will identify any problems the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify points that will add value. It assures home buyers don’t have unpleasant surprise and offers you the opportunity to negotiate a lower cost.

We check the entire property and identify any significant defects that could lead to urgent or future maintenance issues or problems caused by the gradual loss of quality. We look for structural problems or signs that the property is a leaky building or issues that result from deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting due to peeling paint and areas that are damp or mould.

Warning Signs & Red Flags

Any of the following might be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if the home was constructed or re-plumbed around the late 1970s to early 1980s. They are known to leak. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this piping, if you knew they were there.

Weatherside cladding: Weatherside weatherboard is known to leak. If your household was built in the early 80s it might have Weatherside.

Cladding made of Plaster: Used in the 1980s to the mid-2000s A lot of "leaky homes" have this cladding. The exterior walls usually have a smooth, unbroken finish.

Asbestos building materials: Used widely from mid-1940s until the mid-1980s. It could be found on ceilings, roofs, under lino, fencing. 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 will be to get rid of, and the cost of removal.
