What Are The Reason Pre Purchase Building Inspections Are Important

It’s great, you’ve found an apartment that appears like it ticks all the boxes. The real estate agent says it is solidly constructed and your DIY specialist acquaintance says it’s good. Should you really get it checked?

If you are buying a home without conducting a prior purchase inspection, not only could you find yourself with some expensive problems that could be identified, but you could severely limit the ability to claim damages in the event that the home was to be stricken with a significant issue.

A pre purchase inspection report prepared by a certified Island Bay building inspector will reveal any issues the property has, indicate any future issues, and identify areas to add value. It assures house buyers don’t face unpleasant shocks and gives you an opportunity to negotiate lower cost.

We inspect the entire building and find any major flaws, future or urgent maintenance issues or problems that are caused by the gradual degradation. We search for structural issues or any indication that the property is a leaky building, issues caused by deferred maintenance such as weatherboards rotting because of peeling paint and areas where there is moisture or mould.

Red Flags & Warning Signs

Each of these could be costly to solve:

Black plastic pipe: You should look for them if your household was built or re-plumbed from the late 1970s until the early 1980s. They’re known for leaking. Insurers are unlikely cover damage caused by this pipe when you know they are there.

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

Plaster-style monolithic cladding: Used in the 1980s and into the mid-2000s many "leaky homes" have this cladding. Exterior walls generally feature a smooth or undulating finish.

Asbestos products: The use of asbestos was widespread from the mid-1940s through the mid-1980s. It may be in roofs, ceilings under lino, fences. If asbestos is found at a property, get specialist assistance on the danger it poses, the best way it can be removed how long it will be to get rid of, and the removal cost.
